Advancing diagnostic equity through clinician engagement, community partnerships, and connected care.
This article explores the persistent disparities in healthcare, particularly in the diagnostic process, which have been further exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors highlight the higher rates of infection, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 among Black, Hispanic, and Asian patients, who are also less likely to be tested for the virus. Similar disparities are noted in cardiac testing, mental health diagnoses, appendicitis diagnosis, and receipt of diagnostic imaging in the Emergency Department. The authors propose a three-pronged approach to address these disparities: clinician engagement, community partnerships, and connected care. Clinician engagement involves fostering critical consciousness among healthcare providers to recognize and address systemic inequities. Community partnerships with Community Health Workers (CHWs) can help fill gaps in the diagnostic process. Lastly, connected care through telehealth can potentially eliminate traditional barriers to care, although disparities in access to technology and digital literacy remain a challenge. The authors call for further research and initiatives to address these disparities and promote diagnostic equity.
